Additional information

This snowblower auger shaft mounts inside the auger housing and provides the central support and rotation point for the auger blades. Part number 532174657 helps transfer power from the drive system so the auger turns effectively during snow clearing.

If the auger shaft bends, wears at the bearing surfaces, or becomes damaged, auger rotation can become uneven or fail entirely. You may notice vibration, reduced snow intake, scraping noises, or inconsistent discharge as a result.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. Support the auger assembly securely and make sure the shaft aligns properly before tightening all fasteners.
